PropertyData is an investment analytics and sourcing tool for investors and developers, from £14/mo plus VAT. SiteLens turns the live UK planning register into trade-classified construction leads, from £0. These are two different tools for two different jobs, and this page helps you pick the right one.
No credit card, no call.
PropertyData answers an investor's question: is this site worth buying, and what could it be worth once developed. SiteLens answers a contractor's question: which new planning applications mean work for my trade, in my area, this week. PropertyData starts at £14/mo plus VAT; SiteLens is free forever on its £0 tier, or £39/mo on Pro.
Every new UK application in SiteLens is read by AI and tagged with the likely trades involved, the project type and an estimated value band, plus a plain-English project brief. PropertyData has planning alerts as a sourcing signal but does not classify applications by construction trade or build value, because that is not the job it was designed for.
Both products publish their pricing openly, which is welcome. SiteLens goes further with a £0 free-forever tier that needs no card, then £39/mo (or £29/mo billed annually) for unlimited application views. PropertyData has no permanent free tier; its 14-day trial auto-bills at the end of the period.

A small developer or builder could genuinely run both. PropertyData would value the site, model the build costs and decide whether to buy. SiteLens would then surface the live planning applications around that area, classified by trade and value band, to line up subcontractors and suppliers or to win adjacent work. They sit either side of the same project: one decides what to build, the other finds the work that building creates.
No. PropertyData is investment research and sourcing for investors and developers. SiteLens turns the live UK planning register into trade-classified construction leads for the supply chain. They do different jobs, and some users run both.
PropertyData publishes its pricing: Basic £14/mo, Standard £22/mo, Pro £35/mo and Unlimited £60/mo, with annual billing offered at 12 months for the price of 11. There is a 14-day free trial that bills automatically at the end unless you cancel. All PropertyData prices exclude VAT.
No. PropertyData has planning alerts as a sourcing signal but does not classify applications by construction trade or estimated build value. SiteLens reads every new UK application with AI and tags the likely trades, project type and a value band, on a free tier from £0 or £39/mo on Pro.
If your job is buying, developing or valuing property, PropertyData is the right tool and SiteLens is not a substitute. It gives you comparable sales, rental values, yields, capital growth, a development calculator, instant valuations and off-market sourcing with letter campaigns, none of which SiteLens offers. From £14/mo, that is strong value for investment research.
SiteLens deliberately has no land-ownership or title data, no comparable-sales or yield data, and no sourcing or direct-mail workflow. If those are the features you need, PropertyData earns its place and you should choose it on its own merits.
